Hm...Medical condition?...Hormone imbalance?

Question

I'm 18, 110 pounds and 5'4 and 3.5 erect.

Ever since the 8th grade I haven't grown a centimeter, height or width wise. I look so young I could probably pass as a 7th/8th grader. I can still wear the same old shirts/pants I wore in 8th grade. All the males on both my mom and dads side of the family are at least 5'10 if not 6 ft +, and hefty. I've got little facial hair and a decent amount elsewhere. It just seems all I got out of puberty was...the hair. My voice got a little deeper, but it doesn't sound like a mans voice.

It just seems like I never got that huge growth spurt during puberty...

I'm planning to go to the doctors monday to tell him how I feel about it. Has anyone experienced this before/a doctor that can share some info? Thanks.

I just don't want to feel stupid/paranoid tommorow...I just look really really young/short/skinny.

Answer 1

I wouldnt worry too much. I knew a guy in HS that was 5' 4" at graduation. I saw him 2 years later and he was nearly 6 ft

Guys sometimes are slow to grow.. sometimes even into their early 20's

Ask your dad and uncles when they had their growth.. see if they were late

Answer 2

You may still grow- I did after starting college. Who says puberty is over? There are certain people and even entire races that are smaller or "younger looking" than others. There is a lot that goes into one's genetic make-up. Michael J. Fox wasn't in High School when he filmed the Back to the Future series, but he made a lot of money off of it, or so I would imagine. The first movie was released when he had just turned 24 so he was 23 during filming the first movie. That is just one example. Learn to recognise and take advantage of your assets.

Answer 3

nothing much you can do so just wait for tomorrow to get some blood work done to determine what is going on.  You might have a slow testosterone production but there are treatments for this.  Just wait no need to be concern for tomorrow will have its own troubles.
